We know a lot about reproduction – how the sperm meets the egg, how the fertilized egg implants at the wall of the uterus, and how the baby grows inside the womb yet we have not seen actual photos of these happening…until now.

Thanks to Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson, we could now see the incredible moments of how life is formed inside the womb.

He spent 12 years perfecting the technique of photography right inside the womb. Yes! He “worked” inside the womb using an endoscope,a scanning electron microscope, and conventional cameras with macro lenses.

For this reason, his photographs have a superb quality that truly shows us the miracle of life.
